+1, it is worth to note that "wheelchair" is not part of the access tags. The other tags we are discussing in this thread are related to legal access, while "wheelchair" is about suitability. This said I agree that path does not have the implication of wheelchair no (as a dataconsumer who makes use of OSM data for routing of people in wheelchairs you might still assume that paths are not suitable for your users, but there is no such implication on the data level, e.g. the presence of a tag "highway=path" should not prevent you from adding wheelchair specific information). > > >> if they are wide, well maintained, somewhat smooth and hard, and easily >> passible, then they are footpaths. >> >> if it is a track for emergency access vehicles that is usually open for >> hiking, horses, and bikes, then label it is a track instead, cars=emergency >> or whatever that exact tag is >> > > cars=* isn't a tag. motor_vehicle would be... > "emergency" is not a value though, it is a category by use: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:access If you look at the definition, I'd actually read this as "it is not necessary that there is an emergency, but it is necessary that the vehicle is of an emergency vehicle class (like police cars, ambulances, etc.)." so actually there might be a problem: e.g. "hov" and "hazmat" and "disabled" are actually classes that are defined by use: access will not be forbidden to any truck that can transport hazardous material, but only to those that actually do right now. "emergency" by it's current definition doesn't fit into this scheme, it should rather go under motor_vehicle -> double_tracked -> emergency. What do you think? cheers, Martin
